Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. First edition. 8vo. [7], viii-xxi, [2], 2-193, [1] pp. Grey cloth with gold lettering on the spine. Scots Philosophical Monograph Number Two. Series editors Andrew Brennan & William Lyons. Difficult to find in collectible condition, this work is responsible for the revival of the logicism originally proposed by Frege in Grundgesetze der Arithmetik. Frege's work was famously undermined by the paradox discovered by Russell (and independently by Zermelo). Wright and others have proposed a fix for Frege's theory by replacing the notorious Basic Law V with Hume's Principle. Neo-Fregeanism or neo-logicism continues to be actively debated in the philosophy of mathematics and this is an attractive copy of a key work in that area. The front board gently bowed, the top textblock mildly toned; jacket's flaps are toned. Seller Inventory # 000013905
